Mayo, who opted out of his final year with the Dallas Mavericks, is likely to replace free agent Monta Ellis as the primary scorer in Milwaukee. Mayo is a volume shooter and will play a role similar to Ellis' with the Bucks. Thing is, he is a bit better in that role. Mayo has better size, defense and can shoot it from deep (40.7 percent on 3s last year).

There was a time when Mayo looked as if he would stick with the Mavericks. With Dirk Nowitzki sidelined for much of the first month, Mayo averaged 20.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in the lead role. But as the year wore on, he fell out of favor with coach Rick Carlisle, who called Mayo's effort into question. Mayo's scoring continued to dip until he ended the year with averages of 15.3 points and 4.4 assists.

The Bucks still face a decision at point guard. They are considering Jeff Teague, a former starter for new coach Larry Drew in Atlanta. There is also the possibility of keeping restricted free agent Brandon Jennings, one of the Mavericks' targets.
